Senate Committee Screens Fani-Kayode, Dambazau as Ambassadors in Nigeria
The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs screened former ministers Femi Fani-Kayode and Abdulrahman Dambazau for ambassadorial roles in Nigeria. The nominees underwent a full Senate screening process, with lawmakers asking them to bow and leave as per tradition.
Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele defended the practice, citing the nominees' extensive public service records. The screening session was presided over by Bola Tinubu, with 32 ambassadorial nominees submitted for confirmation.
